Wharf Lane, Bourne End, Buckinghamshire, SL8

A beautifully presented five-bedroom Victorian house with south-facing gardens and character features, moments from Bourne End station.

Description

Situated in the centre of Bourne End with fantastic access to the village’s excellent array of amenities, Chelwood is an attractive period house that has been sympathetically extended and remodelled to make a stylish and contemporary home, perfectly balancing the modern additions with the house’s original Edwardian features.
In the older, original part of the house, traditional cast iron fireplaces and decorative cornicing are complemented by herringbone flooring in the two reception rooms. The family room is open plan to the rear extension, which has opened up the back of the house and now comprises a stunning kitchen lit by two roof lanterns and large sliding glazed doors onto the garden. The kitchen has a luxurious feel, complementing the marble-effect work surfaces with neutral walls, natural wood and brushed gold details.

The first floor has a principal bedroom with en-suite, a laundry room, and a single bedroom to the rear. There is also a large storage room that has the potential to be repurposed into a fifth bedroom/office. There are two further bedrooms and a modern shower room on the second floor

Chelwood is situated on a popular, leafy road with Bourne End’s shops and restaurants at the eastern end at the river and marina at the opposite end. To the front, a generously sized gravel driveway provides ample parking for a number of cars and pretty shrub borders and hedges which add a green aspect.
The rear garden is south-facing and enclosed by wooden panel fencing on three sides, with a mix of established and newer pleached trees at the rear. The garden is laid to a mix of lawn and a gravel patio area and there is excellent potential for landscaping.

Full planning approval has been granted for a two-storey side extension to add a boot room and WC on the ground floor and a master family bathroom on first floor
